Instant justice! Thai burglar left unconscious by neighborhood lynch mob

[Alive]

People cheer these lynch mobs because law enforcement and the courts are too often failures. This is the same reason why people want extremist to be their leaders in so many places in the world and why those men are shooting police in the US. Deep down inside most know this is wrong but they are desperate to see the perps suffer for once.

Well done neighbors!!! No B100 fine and back

To stealing!!

This wasn't a lynch mob. A lynch mob would've put A tire over his head and set fire to it.

This wasn't a lynch mob, correct. A lynch mob would have found some rope and hanged the perp from a tree branch.

What you describe is politely referred to as necklacing where a petrol soaked tire is placed over the person's head and ignited.

The guy is lucky to still be alive, obviously some restraint was used. Kudos to the neighbors for their prompt action.

Instant justice! Who writes these headlines? I hope TV at some point will evaluate the tone of their 'journalism'.

It is good the burglar was caught but are we actually going to cheer for angry lynch mobs?

When the police just give a slap on the wrist it is necessary for others to hand out justice. If the police gave proper sentences via the court then no I would be totally against it.

They should have broken at least five fingers...might

The term lynch mob means to string up some one to double or triple team someone is called Thainess.

hi strangebrew

you are right. it is not a lynch mob technically.

but it is pretty fair for village helpers to assist one of their neighbours

as the offender had slashed three villagers. perhaps a little over done but i

can assure you that things do spiral out of conyrol when emotions run high.

Wasn't there any tree nearby ?

I am usually sympathetic to such matters but this one has got me smiling. Call it "Poetic Justice" if you like.

You just gotta love this Neighborhood Watch in that area. Who need Police when you have them?

Why not? It is obvious that his previous prison term didn't change him for the better.

He was carrying a knife and stabbed 3 people without thinking about them.

The police didn't catch him, local neighbours did and he got instant punishment.

Som nam na.

actually yes.

the lynch mob did exactly the right thing, they did beat up the piece of stabber and slasher pondscum and secure him for police.

reading the OP, I was thinking "how many posts until some bleeding heart will complain that what the neighbors did was wrong"... didn't take long.

The mob is the mother of tyrants.

There are laws, securing a guy and lynching him is not really the same. And yet people complain law should be respected, enforced, but when they can they just do justice themselves and not worth more than the one they lynch

Do you understand what a lynch mob is and what they do?

If you don't then I suggest that you do some research before you post.

[radiochaser]

And ... how are the three people he cut/slashed/stabbed doing? Are they in a hospital, treated and discharged, dead?

I am hoping they are doing well!

[Khon Kaen Dave]

I didnt notice any 'attempted murder' charges being bandied about.If he used a knife to stab and slash people,shouldn't that be attempted murder? Why carry a knife when on a burglary outing,if you dont intend to use it.?

And he did.

[Pimay1]

Sanan managed to kick the burglar into a ditch. He called the neighbors who did the rest.

My kind of neighbors.
